WHERE I STAND
I stand for every woman who has been forcibly raped.
I stand for every person who has had to watch helplessly as a loved one was raped, tortured, or killed.
I stand for every Jew, Gypsy, Homosexual, and Political Dissident who was killed in the Holocaust.
I stand for every Ukrainian, Georgian, Russian, Chinese, Cambodian, and Armenian who were mercilessly killed by their Governments.
I stand for every man, woman, and child whose Government killed them simply because of their beliefs
I stand for every man, woman and child who must endure fear on their streets as a fact of life.
I stand and bear witness to the long course of history where tyrants have subjected their people to their will through force, intimidation, and coercion.
I stand for the concept that Freedom is not Free.
I stand for every American who gave his life to defend our Freedom.
I stand ready to defend myself, my family, and my countrymen from the depredations of Government and crime.
I am a Gun Owner.
I stand for Liberty.

"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression.
In both instances there is a twilight when everything remains
seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all
must be most aware of change in the air - however slight -
lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."
--Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas
